Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'm very happy to stand in support of this one. I appreciate the Member for Yellowknife Centre bringing it forward. Certainly as a former city councillor, the municipal funding gap is one that's near and dear to my heart. I appreciate the Member taking the time to consider input of various Members, including myself, and just would like to speak to the practicality of this motion, talking about balancing the discrepancy between communities regarding the percentage of formula funding they receive. I think these are things that MACA's been working with NWTAC on for a number of years but we just seem to not get it to the point of getting it done, and so I very much in the interim want to see that balance brought into reality. And then furthermore, that we, you know, ultimately close the gap. And I spoke to the mayor of my community recently about this and she emphasized the importance of it again, is just closing the gap is important, funding our communities is important, you know, ensuring that they have the money that they need for various infrastructure. I know in my community in Yellowknife, we definitely have a building infrastructure deficit, as many communities do, over -- all across Canada, and it's just -- it's a constant struggle, and it's certainly something that I think is worth the GNWT paying its time to and paying attention to and putting money towards. So I do support the motion, and I'll leave my comments at that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
